“I Still Love Nigerian Men” – Says American Woman Who Fell Victim To Romance Scam [Video]

An American woman has shared her experience of being scammed by two Nigerian internet fraudsters, known locally as “Yahoo boys,” who posed as romantic partners.

Despite the ordeal, the woman still admires Nigerian men, calling them “the sexiest and most handsome men on the planet.”

In a video shared on social media, the woman recounted how she first encountered one of the scammers on TikTok in 2020.

She revealed his real identity and shared how she discovered he had a Nigerian girlfriend he planned to marry. The truth came out after he accidentally called her using his Nigerian phone number.

She explained, “Back in 2020, I met this man, I was with him for ten months, and I got sick of him because he was always demanding money. He always wanted more and more, so I decided to say enough was enough because one day he made a mistake and called me from a Nigerian phone number, and he was trying to play it off that it was his friend’s number. 

“So when I was finally done that I didn’t want to have anything to do with him again, he opened up to me. Now, he is about to get married to his Nigerian girlfriend. 

“May God bless them and hopefully they have a long life together. God will bless their relationship. I also congratulated him. And I hope everything goes well for him,” she said.

The woman shared her second encounter saying “This second was a little different. He was more polite and considered my feelings, but then after a year with him, he decided to come out and tell me the truth that he was a young Nigerian boy trying to put himself through school and his mother was very sick. And he kept thanking me because I saved his mother’s life.” 

She added that while she felt less hurt by the second scam, the first one left a bitter taste, as she discovered the man was flaunting money and spending recklessly.

The woman added: “That one doesn’t hurt me much because I know that the money went for good. The other guy, that’s not good because I used to see videos of him throwing money around and spending it on Nigerian hook-up girls. I’m over it. I will bounce back one day.”

Despite her financial losses, the woman remains optimistic and issued a warning to others to stay cautious and avoid falling into similar traps.

She said, “I still have love for the Nigerian people, the men are the sexiest and most handsome men on this planet. I pray that nothing like this ever happen to me again because now I know all those secrets. They destroyed my life financially.

“Please be safe in that country because I know that a lot of the people there are struggiling. But you have to remember that a lot of American women are struggling too because it is difficult being a woman here and struggling too especially when you don’t have partner.”
